Yes, many Yahoo Groups are no longer there, migrated elsewhere, or whatever else happened. However, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...gmachines/info is there and while not very active has had some recent activity. I just joined in September after getting a Grasshopper. I don't remember how long it took to get approved, but was finally approved.

I don't know the Elna naming conventions, but it may be possible the machine may use different names (Carina?).
From my understanding it was started in 2000 for a very specific Elna machine but later included other machines.

I know there was one group that I had been a member, albeit not active, for a long time that when I signed on one day and tried to reply, it took several days before it eventually posted. Evidently my message had to be moderated/approved. So patience is needed.
